Safe Handling of Timers

[Eggman002]

I need to know if there is a safe way to handle timers in a Component.

Specifically, I need to ensure the timer is stopped and destroyed.

If I have a User Control:

class MyControl : UserControl
{
  private Timer timer = new Timer();

  public MyControl()
  {
    ...
    timer.Start();
    ...
  } 
}

Now suppose that user control is placed into a form. I need to ensure that the timer gets stopped if the form containing the control is closed. How can I do that?
